If you use the Core Plus version, it will likely work, all my wifi work with that version.

I tried with 3 version (core with FLWM topside , X|GUI + Wifi ext. , X|GUI +Wifi + Firmware )
none of them work.
When I set-up the net  in the window for network I write  ( interface: Wlan0 , DHCP: no , IP: 192.168.0.144
Mask,Broadcast and Gateway fill by themself .
Name Servers : VIDEOTRON6094 and the second space my password.
Save :yes Apply
On the services window I do not know what to chose crond,dhcp or tftpd , when I chose dhcp in the network windoww
I am not able to fill any informations.
Tank-you for your time and the info.
P.S. My Wifi and my computer are working good , I send this message whit it on pupy distro but I will prefere to use TinyCore.

Hello althus

Is best to start with a basic GUI desktop without "Wifi" from coreplus.iso  then add your firmware and wifi extension

I understand the ATH5K linux driver doesn't require any firmware however this is the atheros firmware if needed.

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i firmware-atheros.tcz
tce-load -i wifi.tcz
In that order, then run wifi from the icon or from the command line

Code: [Select]

sudo wifi.sh

then check

Code: [Select]

dmesg for any errors

You can upload the important dmesg output here

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -20
Or

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -20 > dmesg.txt and look for the file in your home directory

[althus]

Ok,I am not a wis and actualy internet is not working on Wifi or cable.
I download a new Tiny core  and try all the combo I can think of.
Stil no go. I write the dmesg from the start up of the computer concerning  ATH5K

Can`t disale ASPM;OS doesn`t have ASPM control
Register as `phy0`
ATH5K:phy0:Atheros AR2425 chip found.
I wish this will give you some clue.

thank you for the help you give me

Hello
We need more info as previously mentioned,
load wifi extension

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i wifi.tcz
Then

Code: [Select]

sudo wifi.sh
Finally use the command

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -20
and post the results please

[Rich]

Hi coreplayer2

... Finally use the command

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -20
and post the results please

It looks like althus is copying messages by hand. I would suggest:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | tail -20 > dmesg.txtThis way althus has a file called  dmesg.txt  that he can copy to a thumb drive and attach to his next post.

[coreplayer2]

Thanks rich. This is exactly my earlier suggestion too

But he’s new to linux and just finding his way around

I tink my problem is bad info to the system but I do not know how to give it the info.
Thank you all of you for your help.
Do you have a book explaining the system and how to use it.

    [EDIT]: Added code tags.  Rich

[althus]

I find the Book ,I will reading it 

[coreplayer2]

hello althus

I don't see anything wrong here,  did you try running wifi from it's icon or from the command line first?

first run

Code: [Select]

sudo wifi.sh
then

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesg.txt
next run

Code: [Select]

lsmod > lsmod.txt
also this

Code: [Select]

rfkill list all > rfkill.txt
You're looking for this

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
tc@box:~$

and attach all to next post please

[Rich]

Hi coreplayer2
This guys dmesg looks almost identical to the OPs:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2351377
Right down to the  forcedeth  driver for the  nVidia  Ethernet hardware. Search (Ctrl-F) the page for  ar2425.

[althus]

Good day ,I think  The problem  is not so deep in the system.
Normaly with other distro for the Wifi to be operational I write in a Windoww
 
SSID__VIDEOTRON6094  and WPA2 security key XXXXXXX (X are number and leters )

On tiny-core the windoww for network configuration did not ask for those questions
and I am sory but did not know where to put those two information nessary for
the system to operate. Please accept my excuses if I put you on the wrong track.

Tank you for your time ,Have a good day
